Green Building Certification and Environmental Footprint

Description

Objectives: The global aim is to take green building dimension in account for a smart city design Know the different green building frameworks Learning outcomes: Explain the different phases of a certification Make the connection between technical requirements and environmental footprint. The course is organized with lectures and students workshops and oral presentations. First, the students discover by themselves the different green building certifications: Bre- eam, HQE, LEED, Minergie, Casbee. They have to present them by group and also present the implementation for a building of their choice. Then a lecture deals with the importance of the reasons why such frameworks are applied, with an overview of the different stakeholders (project owner, building firms, city). After those two steps, a case study is launched: a program and several competing teams : Content: in 2017-2018, teams worked on an international high school planned in the Citadel of Lille) in 2018-2019, they worked on the same program but in a different place (Humanicités) The delivery takes modern forms like videos. This case study obliges the students to read and to understand the precise technical requirements (e.g. energy consumption or green roofs). The last lecture focuses on Life Cycle Assessment approach and deals with the different HQE targets (the cerway framework is used, as it is in English language). http://www.breeam.com BIBLIOGRAPHY https://www.cerway.com
